Introduction. Adult patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) associated with congenital left-to-right shunting are often considered inoperable. Case outline. A 26-year-old man presented with effort intolerance and palpitations. The diagnosis of PAH in the presence of a large perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) was established. The patient was managed with a two-stage surgical approach involving an initial ligation of PDA, followed by VSD closure using unidirectional valved patch. Treatment decisions were based on the results of both invasive and non-invasive investigations. At follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic with pulmonary arterial pressure and vascular resistance returning to normal levels. Conclusion. There is a possibility for an adult patient to have a congenital heart disease associated with marked pulmonary overcirculation that is still amenable to surgical repair. This implies that there is an individual response to a long-standing left-to-right shunt, and that the therapy should be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Abstract Ductus arteriosus is a physiological structure if not closed after birth, may lead to many complications. Today, trans-catheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus with Occluder devices is the preferred method. Surgical ligation is used only in certain cases such as large symptomatic patent ductus arteriosus in very small infants and premature babies; unfavourable structure of the duct or economic considerations. In this article, we described haemodynamic and morphological characteristics of five patients with large patent ductus arteriosus which were occluded with Amplatzer device. From 23 January, 2010 to 31 July, 2018, five patients referred to our clinic with large patent ductus arteriosus and pulmonary arterial hypertension for further evaluation. After assessing them with various diagnostic methods, we decided to close defect with ventricular septal defect Occluder device. Patients aged 21–44 years and one of them was male. Ductus closure was successfully done with ventricular septal defect Occluder device. Closure was successful for all of them but in one case, whose device was embolized to pulmonary artery after 24 hr and he underwent surgery. Trans-catheter closure of large patent ductus arteriosus in adult patients with pulmonary hypertension is feasible. Despite the fact that complications may occur even with the most experienced hands, the ‘double disk’ Amplatzer ventricular septal defect muscular Occluder could be advantageous in this setting.

AbstractLimb ischaemia is a rare but catastrophic complication related to cardiac catheterisation. We report an infant weighing 3 kg with unrepaired tricuspid atresia type 1b, small patent ductus arteriosus, and ventricular septal defect presenting with cardiogenic shock owing to progressively reduced pulmonary blood flow from closing ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus. An emergency palliative ductal stent was successfully placed with marked clinical improvement. However, acute limb ischaemia developed necessitating above-knee amputation, despite medical management and vascular surgery. The cause of limb loss in our patient was catheterisation-related vascular injury causing arterial dissection–arterial thrombosis in the presence of shock and coagulopathy. This report emphasises the complexity in managing limb ischaemia associated with coagulopathy and highlights the importance of early recognition of reduced pulmonary flow in a single ventricle patient. Timely elective placement of a surgical systemic to pulmonary shunt would prevent catastrophic clinical presentation of compromised pulmonary flow and avoid the need for an emergent life-saving intervention and its associated complications.
